ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON RULES

Ken Cooley, Chair

AJR 18 (Choi) – As Proposed to be Amended June 19, 2017

SUBJECT: 67th Korean War Remembrance and encouraging a peaceful solution

SUMMARY: Recognizes the year of 2017 as the 67th year since the Korean War broke out on

June 25, 1950, and calls upon the President of the United States and the United States Congress

to take appropriate measures to facilitate stability in the region, build goodwill that is conducive

to peace on the Korean Peninsula, and minimize potential negative impacts to the South Korean

economy. Specifically, this resolution makes the following legislative findings:

1) The Korean War broke out on June 25, 1950 when the North Korean People’s Army crossed

the 38th Parallel and invaded the Republic of Korea with 135,000 soldiers.

2) During the Korean War, 36,516 Americans died, 92,134 were injured, and 4,759 are still

missing in action, and some 2,611 Californians died in the fierce fighting. And, nearly one

million South Korean soldiers and civilians were killed during the war.

3) Korea is still divided into North and South since the Korean Armistice was signed on July

27, 1953, and the Republic of South Korea regained its status as a free, democratic state. The

division on the Korean Peninsula separated more than 10 million Korean family members,

including some who are now citizens of the United States.

4) According to the 2010 United States Census, there are roughly 500,000 people in California

who self-identify as Korean in origin, and California is the state with the largest Korean

heritage population.

5) The United States Congress signaled its interest in family reunions between United States

citizens and their relatives in North Korea in section 1265 of the National Defense

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181) signed into law by President

George W. Bush on January 28, 2008.

6) Peace on the Korean Peninsula remains a long-term goal for the governments of South Korea

and the United States, and would mean greater security and stability for the region and the

world.

7) South Korea is a significant market for U.S. small and medium-sized companies, which make

up a majority of U.S. businesses exporting to South Korea. And, California is the top

exporting state to South Korea, making up nearly 20 percent of U.S. exports, and in 2016

California exported over $8.2 billion to South Korea.

8) Regional instability could potentially cause damage to the $1.4 trillion economy of South

Korea, affect the confidence of Korean consumers and businesses, and increase the difficulty

of the government in promoting economic recovery.

HR 23 (McCarty) – As Amended June 16, 2017

SUBJECT: World Refugee Day

SUMMARY: Recognizes June 20, 2017, as World Refugee Day to honor the courage, strength,

and determination of the women, men, and children who are displaced from their homes.

Specifically, this resolution makes the following legislative findings:

1) There are nearly 65,300,000 displaced people worldwide, the highest levels ever recorded,

including almost 21,300,000 refugees, 40,800,000 internally displaced people, and 3,200,000

people seeking asylum.

2) Children account for 51 percent of the refugee population in the world, millions of whom are

unable to access basic services including education.

3) Refugees who are women and girls are often at a greater risk of sexual violence and

exploitation, forced or early marriage, human trafficking, and other forms of gender-based

violence.

4) The United States provides critical resources and support to the United Nations High

Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and other international and nongovernmental

organizations working with refugees around the world.

5) Since 1975, the United States has welcomed more than 3,000,000 refugees who have

resettled in communities across the country. Since the enactment of the United States

Refugee Act of 1980, the State of California has greatly benefited from being a national

leader in welcoming refugees from all faiths and regions of the world.

6) From October 2015 to September 2016, 7,900 refugees have settled in California, most of

them residing in the Counties of Los Angeles, Sacramento, and San Diego. These well-

established refugee communities have significantly strengthened the worldwide economic

position of California and contributed to advancing the state as the sixth largest economy on

earth.
